Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton are coming to Istanbul, the ancient city flanking the strait of Bosphorus – the edge between continents, climates and cultures – to deliver a PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate) course. This is the first event bringing the two legendary permaculture teachers together in the Northern Hemisphere. The full 72-hour PDC course starts on the 21st of November and ends on the 4th of December 2010.

During this two week course, you will gain an understanding of Permaculture theory, building your knowledge of all the necessary aspects to become fully conversant with Permaculture design. By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently create your first Permaculture design plan.

Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton are now coming to Istanbul to meet their students from Europe and Middle East. The Permaculture Design Certificate course starts at 21st November and finishes at 4th of December.

The PDC serves as foundation for further permaculture work and study and is a prerequisite for the Diploma in Permaculture Design, offered through The Permaculture Institute. Credit for this course is now accepted by a growing number of universities around the world. To date, thousands of permaculture designers worldwide have been certified through this course, and now comprise a global network of educators, ecological activists who influence major corporations, individuals creating new business alternatives and groups of committed people working together to change the way we view and design into our landscapes.

The course covers sustainable living systems for a wide variety of landscapes and climates. It includes the application of permaculture principles to food production, home design, construction, energy conservation and generation, and explores alternative economic structures and legal strategies supporting permaculture solutions.

The Cirriculum is Based on all Subjects in: “PERMACULTURE: A Designers’ Manual” by Bill Mollison. Students are invited to bring details of their own sites or potential sites to consider during the course.
